History
St. George's Anglican Church was established as an Anglican Mission in 1906 the same year the City of Saskatoon was created. Originally a small eighteen by twenty-four foot, uninsulated, shack-like building on the far western edge of the city, St. George's has grown to become an inner-city faith centre with room for more than 200. From its beginnings, St. George's was known for its outreach, mission support and community involvement; these characteristics continue to be the the hallmarks of the present St. George's Parish's activities. In 2006, St. George's Church marked its Centennial with a year-long series of events and celebrations culminating in a banquet and a Service of Thanksgiving; the Mayor of Saskatoon, the Premier of Saskatchewan and the Bishop of Saskatoon all attended and added their contributions to making these celebrations a memorable success. In early 2007 the Church's history "A Century of Ministry" was published and, in 2008, a Centennial Time Capsule was sealed for the next 100 years.
